Abstract (en)

An X-ray image detector has been disclosed comprising X-ray sensitive storage means (1) for storing an X-ray image, which storage means emit image-wise modulated light when being stimulated, and a two-dimensional position sensitive gaseous photon detector (6). An image stored by the detector is read by line-wise stimulation (10) of the X-ray sensitive storage means followed by measurement of the charges generated by the gaseous photon detector. <IMAGE>
